I was warned not to make fun of The Twilight Saga: New Moon because I would be sucked into seeing it just to spite me – well, I did and I did. Not only was New Moon one of the worst excuses for a movie I have seen in ages, it probably felt worse because [...]

November 23rd, 2009 Chris Doelle I went to see 2012 because New Moon was sold out and although I give Dawn a hard time about not wanting to see the vampire flick, I think it will actually be pretty decent. I was happy to take in 2012 though because I have wanted to see it ever since I took in [...]

November 14th, 2009 Chris Doelle I recently watched the SNL episode hosted by Megan Fox and was struck by the fact that I had no flippin’ idea who the heck Megan Fox is. Seriously. She claims that we may know her from TV – uh… that doesn’t help at all. Now, I have never been a big celebrity maven, but [...]
What are ‘gourmet’ tamales, you ask?
November 6th, 2009 Chris Doelle That is the exact question that Dawn and I pondered each time we took the small trip along Ranch Road 12 between San Marcos and Wimberley. Surely, THIS is just good marketing? What the heck makes a tamale ‘gourmet?’ Yes, this is Jean’s Antique Mall & Gourmet Tamales. Well, after a few months of saying [...]
